Shine on, shine on harvest moon up in the sky

I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June, or July

Snow time ain't no time to sit outdoors and spoon

Shine on, shine on harvest moon for me 'n' my gal



MONOLOGUE: C'mon, shine on harvest moon way up there in the sky. Don'tcha

know I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June, AND July? Now, looka

here a don't you know better than to set out there in the snow 'n' spoon? C'mon, I don't

want no half moon, I want a full moon.



Oh, won't you shine on, shine on harvest moon(shine on, shine on)

Up in the sky? (shine on)

I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June, or July

(ah-ooba, ah-ooba, ah-ooba , ah-ooh)

Don't you know you're gonna freeze to death

Settin' out there in the snow tryin' to spoon?

So shine on, shine on harvest moon for me 'n' my gal
